Chris King hub rebuild
I love rebuilding well-used high quality hubs – it’s evidence that good quality hubs can be used for a long, long time and will out-live rims which are damaged from crashes, potholes or brakepads.
These King hubs look to have done more than a few miles but the bearings are silky smooth and once the grime was wiped away they look pretty smart.
A new pair of A719 touring rims was fitted with 36 DT Swiss Competition double-butted spokes and brass nipples on each wheel – ready for another few 10 or 20 thousand kilometres….

Hi, just what I will need later is the year as we get ready to cycle across Aussie. The rims on the cannondale T800 are starting to show brake wear so to be on the safe side I should get a new set built.
So what is that going to cost me.
Regards
Colin
